For the rest of the world Stiers was well known as Major Charles Winchester in M*A*S*H.

In Doctor Who: Closing Time (2011), the Doctor and Craig make reference to Star Trek and Beam Me Up Scotty.
This is prescient to the fact that this episode guest starred Chris Obi who played security guard George as he later played T’Kuvma in Star Trek: Discovery.

Epitaph:
Penultimate episode of season 5.
Sad and emotional with Captain Shelby having just lost her mother and the grieving that comes with it.
Not bad the other plotline of the Excelsior discovering secrets of the Grey but that princess on board was sure irritating.
